Of course, the surveillance cameras were not a problem for Caroline. She could find a way to avoid those gadgets and sneak in.
However, she was not the only one fighting now, so she did not have to do everything herself. She could share some of the work with others.
On the other side, after Henry received her mission, he thought for a moment and clicked on one of the avatars in the group of thirteen people. Then, he forwarded the message to the other party.
In the storeroom of a gaming internet cafe, a bearded man wearing a checkered shirt and khaki overalls was sleeping on a couch with a erotic magazine covering his face.
Suddenly, his phone rang. The man’s chubby palm covered the magazine with a ‘pa’ sound. He grabbed the corner of the magazine and threw it away. His other hand took out his phone from his pocket.
When he saw the message, his sleepy eyes lit up for a moment, but soon they returned to their listless, dead fish eyes.
There was a knock on the door. “Hey, Boss, there’s another computer problem outside.”
“Got it.” The man responded impatiently, then put away his phone. He pulled on a pair of old sneakers, scratched his messy hair, opened the door, and went out. “Which computer is having problems again?
“Zone A, Table 8.” Luhn, the waiter, was clearly used to his sloppy appearance.
“When I have money, I’ll throw away all these broken machines and replace them with new ones sooner or later,” the man said as he walked over to Table 8 in Zone A.
Next to him was a boy who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with dyed red hair, chewing gum in his mouth, and a face with a bit of a ruffian. “Hey, Billy, you’re this broken computer, isn’t it a special trap for me? Otherwise, why would it have problems every time I play games to the most critical time?” The computer in front of him had turned into a color tray and could not be moved at all.
Billy would never agree. “Forget it. It’s clearly your fault. Other people have never had any problems with the computer, but you always have problems with the computer. Did you lose the game and treat the computer rudely?” He retorted, but his hands were typing on the keyboard.
The boy was not convinced. “Hey, don’t slander me. It’s clearly your computer that’s broken and old. I don’t know how many years it’s been, but when it moves, it’s like a slow old lady. It’s slow and sluggish. It’ll be strange if there’s nothing wrong with it!”
Billy rolled his eyes. “My shop only has such lousy conditions. If you dislike it so much, go to another shop!”
The boy chuckled. “If it weren’t for your chead Drice. I would have chanced long ago!”
Even though this internet café looked like it was in ruins, the boss was really capable. The new games on the market were all updated, and the configuration was up to date. Moreover, the internet speed was not bad, and the charges were about 15% cheaper than other internet cafes.
The only downside was that the computer would occasionally go crazy, which would affect the gaming experience. However, young people like them who didn’t have much money and liked to play games still liked to gather here. However, when something went wrong, they still had to complain when they should.
“I was just about to complete my penta-kill when the computer suddenly jammed and completely affected my performance. Boss, you have to compensate me for my mental damage.” The boy wanted to take the opportunity to see if he could reduce the fee a little.
Billy bent down and did something. The computer screen flashed and returned to normal. He straightened his body and glanced at it before snorting disdainfully. “Is it to complete the record of being killed five times?”
The boy widened his eyes and looked at it. The computer screen was displaying his game interface, which showed his game data.
“Cough, cough…” The boy coughed awkwardly. “The computer must have jammed and my character disconnected. That’s why I was killed repeatedly.”
Billy gave the boy a look that said, ‘Go ahead and make it up.’ With those game stats, it would be strange if he could win.
However, Billy was too lazy to argue with the customer. Since the computer was back to normal, his work was done. He waved his hand and walked out of the shop.
“Where’s the boss?” A few seconds later, a waitress poked her head out of Zone
B to look for someone.
Luhn spread his hands and said, “He left with his mind. Maybe he went to find his sweetheart.”
The waitress clicked her tongue. “He’s too fast. It hadn’t even been two minutes, and the malfunction had been fixed so quickly?”
Luhn had a very normal expression on his face.. “Otherwise, how do you think we can maintain the normal operation of the shop with these broken computers in our shop?”
